You're probably right. I know I had a hell of a time getting it out and putting the new one in. I put an extra plate on the new one. Thought I remembered rivets on the one I took out, but I wouldn't argue that one.
I’ve been wrong before. It’s feasible that after setting pinion angle at the factory after 1960 they could have used rivets. I can’t think of any reason why one would have to change pinion angle after it had been set? I’ve been under enough 60’s that I can assure you the bracket is bolted. Can’t say for other years.You're probably right. I know I had a hell of a time getting it out and putting the new one in. I put an extra plate on the new one.

someone mentioned sex tape?!
So, someone please tell me what idiot at GM, designed the "X" frame on '58-'64 cars. Not that it matters anymore, but what a terrible idea in my opinion. I was just out in the garage and tried to put my '62 on my 2 post lift. What a royal pain in the ass, this is. You have to be lined up perfectly for the lift arms to meet portions of the X frame. I never am. So, I have to jack it up and put skates under the wheels to position it properly. I have to do this almost every time. Even then, the arms barely reach the lifting points. This X frame nonsense must not have been too brilliant an idea. It only lasted 7 years thank God, Carmine.
But there's less Transvestites hanging out here than your usual bar.See what you started. Ain't this the best place to hang out. Kinda like hanging out at the Bar.
What were the circumstances that led to the failure? Was this a drag strip car, high horse power, stick, auto? I have a vested interest.I ripped one off of frame in my 60 impala. Tore a giant piece of the crossmember out. A gent that I knew (Archie Reynolds’s ornamental iron) replaced the entire crossmember with heavy weight “stuff” car ran and rode like new!
Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket. Did you notice if the driver side of the crossmember was dimpled for drilling for the second arm? My 60 was.Here is my 63 convertible.In the assembly manual they call out the washer on the top bolt as reinforcement.View attachment 76250View attachment 76249
